UBS AG, the multinational investment bank, has approached the Competition Commission of India (CCI) seeking approval to acquire a 4.95 per cent stake in domestic wealth management firm 360 ONE WAM Ltd (360 ONE).
In a notice filed with CCI on May 22, UBS outlined that 360 ONE WAM will issue 2,05,02,939 subscription warrants on a preferential allotment basis to UBS AG, allowing the bank to subscribe to up to 4.95 per cent of 360 ONE's paid-up share capital, as per the terms set out in the securities subscription agreement between the two entities, PTI reported.
The proposed transaction also includes the transfer of Credit Suisse Securities (India) wealth management and stock broking businesses to 360 ONE entities.
Credit Suisse Securities (India) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UBS AG.
Under the deal, Credit Suisse's portfolio management services will be transferred to 360 ONE Portfolio Managers, while stock broking and financial product distribution operations will be assigned to 360 ONE Distribution Services. Both transfers will be made as going concerns on a slump sale basis.
Additionally, UBS Finance India will transfer its entire loan portfolio, part of its non-banking financial company operations, to 360 Prime under a separate agreement.

The deal further includes a collaboration agreement between UBS AG and 360 ONE WAM Ltd, wherein both firms will jointly offer wealth management solutions to domestic and global clients.
UBS has stated that the proposed transaction will not have any adverse impact on market dynamics in India or competition in any relevant markets. It also emphasized that it had delineated certain relevant markets, including portfolio management, stock broking, and mutual fund distribution, to assist the CCI's assessment.
In April, UBS had announced an exclusive strategic collaboration with 360 ONE, under which UBS will transfer its onshore wealth management business in India to 360 ONE, along with acquiring a 4.95 per cent stake in the firm.
The deal is subject to approval from the Competition Commission of India before it can proceed to completion.

US Tech Jobs Under Fire? Marjorie Greene Demand Ban On Indian Work Visas Amid Tariff Tensions

Far-right US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has called on Donald Trump to halt the H1B visa programme for Indian nationals, claiming they are replacing American workers. Her remarks followed Trump's social media post threatening steep tariffs on Indian goods due to India's oil trade with Russia. Greene doubled down, urging an end to US funding for Ukraine and blaming former Democratic presidents for the ongoing war. The H1B visa debate has resurfaced, with powerful voices in Trump's circle offering conflicting views.#MarjorieTaylorGreene #TrumpIndiaTensions #H1BVisaBan #IndiaUSTrade #UkraineWarFunding #FarRightPolitics #TechJobsCrisis #USImmigrationDebate #ElonMuskH1B #TrumpVsIndia Read More

Nato to coordinate arms deliveries to Ukraine, most will be bought from US

Two deliveries are expected this month. The equipment that will be provided is based on Ukraine's priority needs on the battlefield. NATO allies then locate the weapons and ammunition and send them on AP Brussels NATO started coordinating regular deliveries of large weapons packages to Ukraine after the Netherlands said it would provide air defence equipment, ammunition and other military aid worth 500 million euros (USD 578 million), most bought from the US Two deliveries are expected this month. The equipment that will be provided is based on Ukraine's priority needs on the battlefield. NATO allies then locate the weapons and ammunition and send them on. Packages will be prepared rapidly and issued on a regular basis, NATO said late Monday Air defense systems are in greatest need. The United Nations has said that Russia's relentless pounding of urban areas behind the front line has killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians. Russia's bigger army is also making slow but costly progress along the 1,000-kilometre front line. Currently, it is waging an operation to take the eastern city of Pokrovsk, a logistical hub whose fall could allow it to drive deeper into Ukraine. European allies and Canada are buying most of the equipment they plan to send from the United States, which has greater stocks of ready military materiel, as well as more effective weapons. The Trump administration is not giving any arms to Ukraine. The new deliveries will come on top of other pledges of military equipment. The Kiel Institute, which tracks support to Ukraine, estimates that as of June, European countries had provided 72 billion euros ($83 billion) worth of military aid since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, compared to $65 billion in U.S. aid. Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans said that American air defence systems and munitions, in particular, are crucial for Ukraine to defend itself. Announcing the deliveries Monday, he said Russia's attacks are pure terror, intended to break Ukraine. Germany said Friday that it will deliver two more Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine in the coming days. It agreed to the move after securing assurances that the US will prioritize the delivery of new Patriots to Germany to backfill its stocks. These weapon systems are only made in the US.

I-T officials investigating Jane Street for tax treaty breach; Singapore link under scrutiny: Report

Jane Street under scrutiny Tax authorities are conducting an investigation into Jane Street's potential tax treaty violations, specifically examining if the firm routed profits through Singapore entities for its Indian market derivative trades, according to three informed sources, quoted by Reuters (anonymously). Income tax officials have been conducting searches at the American trading firm's Indian offices since last week. A government official familiar with the situation indicated that Jane Street personnel were not being cooperative. The tax inquiry follows the Securities and Exchange Board of India's (SEBI) temporary restriction, where the regulator publicly claimed the firm had manipulated stock indices through derivatives positions. While Jane Street has contested Sebi's claims, they have remained silent regarding the tax investigation. The investigation reportedly centres on whether Jane Street circumvented the General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR) by utilising the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and Singapore to avoid taxes on substantial profits from Indian derivative trading, according to all three sources. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Premium 1 BHK at Mahindra Citadel – Coming Soon! Mahindra Citadel Enquire Now Undo The DTAA aims to prevent dual taxation for residents, whilst GAAR enables countries to refuse tax benefits used solely for avoidance purposes. Indian tax officials are examining whether Jane Street deliberately recorded higher profits on Indian market derivatives positions through Singapore entities to reduce tax liability, confirmed all three Reuters informed sources. SEBI's July 4 ban order revealed Jane Street's Indian trading earnings exceeded $4 billion from January 2023 to May 2025. The order showed profit distribution across entities: JSI Investments and JSI2 Investments (India) earned 39.35 billion Indian rupees ($448.23 million), Jane Street Singapore gained 256 billion rupees ($2.92 billion), and Jane Street Asia Trading (Hong Kong) recorded 69.30 billion Indian rupees ($789.39 million). Should the tax investigation reveal rule violations, Jane Street might face tax demands, according to the third source. Tax authorities are attempting to examine Jane Street's overseas-maintained accounts. The second source indicated that SEBI provided the tax department with financial details of the four Jane Street group entities mentioned in their orders.
